A prominent merchant of this city was sit
ting ia front Of his store with some fifteen
or twenty of his Friends, anl they were dis
cussing the probability Of rain. The mer-
chant was very sure it would rain, AMI an
other citizen in the circle was very sure 1t
wouldn't. Finally, the merchant offered to
bet the citizen tho cigars for the crowd that
1t would rain in less than half an hour.
The wager WAS accepted, and the crowd all
slipped down q little lower in their chairs,
to await natures decision on the wager. The
time wac nearly up, when there came gen
tie sprnkling Of ram on tho sidewalk.
The merchant jumped up and shouted fo'
the cigars, which the citizen Immediately
went and bought. As soon rs the PARTY were
all engaged In smoking the cigars which
were the fruit Of the wager, the enterprisins
son of the merchant came down from law
yer's office over the store, and put away thu

GOVERNOR FORAEER's message WAS reau
before the Ohio Legislature yesterday, bur
bv a peculiar streak of newspaper enter
prise on the part of the Cincinnati En-
Quirer and Columbus Dispatch the Ohio
people got to read it the day before. The
Governor recommends that twenty-five per
cent. ofthe liquor tax so to the State. In
regard to the Dow law he says:
The law has been constructed to au-
thorize sales BY manufacturers n their
agents in quantities not less than a gallon
in municipal corporations where, under the
provisions of Section IL Of the Act, they
have prohibited ale, beer and porter houses,
or other places where intoxicating liquors
are sold. This is an a~ggravation OF the
evil that the provision was lntendedt 10 cure
IL should be amended so rs to prohlOltthlS
praetiee. 1t is believed that the law Will
when 80 changed give more satisfactory
results to the people of the State than any
measure relating to the liquor traffic that
has ever been enacted in Ohio. isatle a
due this statute from both the friends and
the enemies of the liquor traffic that 1t shall
have q fair trial"

HINTS For rHE LEGIsLATURE.

In the political notes from our exchanges
this morning, attention is again called to
the necessity of better mining laws. On
January 21, soon after the Legislature
assemblies will be the first anniversary OF
the terrible explosion at the Newburg Col
liery, in which thirty-nine men lost their
lives. The ruins are still black and many
homes are still desolate from that i'll fated
day. While disasters come in spite OF the
best legislation, our Legislators should feel
certain that there is left no chance, on &C
count of defective laws, for the recurrence
Of a disaster like that at Newburg. The
miners lot at best is hard enough, and hui
man life is too dear to be needleSsly jeop-
ardized.
Also, attention is again called to some
better way Of collecting the State tobacco
tax. or the repeal of the tax altogether. As
il Is at present, of the So annual license
Maid by dealers, the Clerk aud Assessor get
81 no in fees. Besides this the Sheriff gets
his usual per cent. for collecting. Thus
nv the time the tax gels into the treasury
IL almost has the minus sign clinging to
il. Let this tax be placed by the Assess
ors and collected by the Sheriffs just the
same as any other.

g. rhs Rparsrrp has watched the course

rity. The REGISTER has watched the course
of Democratic opinion with jealous care
during the canvass for United States Sena-
tor. In this end of the State it is all one
way, and little or no organized opposition
To Senator CAMDEN comes from any section
of the State, saving and except the
Republican politicians, who are dead
set against him. To sun up the situation,
then, it is this: There is no doubt as to
whom the party prefers or who most de-
serves the Senatorship. 1t is Senator
CAMDEN. His faithful party service, his
ability, fidelity and success in promoting
the interests of the State, make him the
fayorite by long odds. 1t has been q rec
ognized Democratic custom from the days
of JEFFERSON to endorse faithful represen-
tatives by a reelection, and the failure OF
such endorsement is equivalent to censure
Do West Virginians of either party wish
to make such o record for Senator CAM
DEN?
We say now that the defeat OF Senator
CAMDEN at this time, and under the cir
c~umstances, by any unfair means would be
a wet blanket to the active working Dem
ocracy of the State, and a most welcome
bow of hope to the Republicans for 1888.
The REGISTER predicts that such a re-
suit is impossible under the leadership OF
Mr.. MASON.

FIJI POLICE FORCE.

The conspiracy laid against Captain
PORTER SMITH ut the beginning Of bis
term of Office was q far reaching e
When charges were trumped up against
him last winter, it was shown that nearly
all were without foundation and that they
were merely spleen from personal or pO-
Htical enemies of Captain SMITH. But
notwithstanding this fact there is a tend
ency to renew these attacks, and see If the
conspiracy that was laid more than a year
ago can be used to any effect.
Now, there is no needof any attempts ut
making n ruse to draw the attention of the
citizens of Wheeling from the real contest
There are two candidates for City Ser
geant. Both have held that office. We
invite the closest comparison between
the acts o feach as officials. We are willing
to place the efficiency of Captain SMITHS
police force against that of his predecessor
and opponent; we are willing to compare
them in moral character, OF in any other
respect. These things are what Wheeling's
citizens want to look at. Quite a number
of citizens met in the Fourth Street N. L
Church to discuss the question OF getting
the very best man for City Sergeant This
was perfectly proper, and we do not I'M
nuUn their motives as some have done, by
insinuating that they are laying a plan to
elect PORTER SMITH. But a they viii
doubtless conclude that it is impossible to
elect an independent candidate, the ques-
ton with them then viii be to choose the
better man of the present candidates We
ask them 10 make a close scrutiny OF the
